A leading New York cotton circular
says OF the speculative market: "The
entire market was grand scare over
June. So far as could be learned
nothing Of a decisive character has
been developed since yesterday, but
the shorts in AN directions appeared to
have suddenly made up their minds
that next Monday was in danger,
and amid much excitement the rush
to cover forced up values 81 points
before eliminating and then reac-
ton was almost sudden, rates drop
ping IS points and closing only about
s points above last evening. The de-
mand represented Liverpool, New
Orleans, local and Western operators,
and the entire move appeared very
perplexing to the general trade, espe-
cially as the other old crop months
made only 7 to 8 points advance and
the new crop was greatly neglected.
Indeed, about the only new crops
showing is that the June shorts have
been subjected to severe squeeze"

Sigourney Butler, second comptroller of the
treasury, has made two decisions of much i'm
portsnce in army circles, one of which can
hardly fail to result in saving the government
considerable money. He has decided that six
months Is g sufficient time within which to
close paym2sters' accounts, and that hereafter
a final revision OF all said accounts should be
made within that time. He has also decided
that an officer may be pad for mileage for
travel performed without Previous order, but
subsequently ratified by the tficer's superior
on the ground that the duty was compelled by
emergency and urgent public necessity. This
is under the ordinary rule Of law, that the I'M
authorized act of an agent may be substq 1ently
adopted and ratified by the principal. In
making the ruling Controller Butler wishes 1t
understood that the case involves the question
OF emergency only. With that element elm
mated, he would agree with auditor Williams,
whose decision he overrules, that mileage
could not be allowed. The government has
lost large sums Of money by the failure Of the
accounting officers to adjust the accounts of
discussing officers within reasonable time
